East Carlton Country Park is situated on the edge of the beautiful Welland Valley. The park is owned and managed by North Northamptonshire Council Country Parks Team. The Heritage Centre in the converted coach house and stables houses a display featuring the history of Corby and the development of the iron and steel industry in the town. The cafe is open all year and offers light meals, hot and co

ld drinks and ice cream. The first floor of the old coach house has a number of craft workshops where you can watch the individual craftsmen practice their skills. There are country walks throughout the park, through fine mature woodland and grasslands. You can see a varied habitat and a great variety of wildlife throughout the year. The Hall is unfortunately not open to the public but can be viewed from the park. The present hall, built in 1863 on the site of a previous hall, is thought to be the third hall on this site. Like all old buildings, it does have a ghost who has on occasions been known to visit the old coach house.

This week we welcomed one of the North Northamptonshire Council teams down to the park for one of our Reconnect Wellbeing sessions. Giving the team the chance to spend some time together away from work and in our wonderful Education Wild Zone.

They got to enjoy enjoy some team games and natural crafts, before finishing with a marshmallow (unfortunately it's wasn't toasted, due to no campfire)
